The Sword #4

The Luna Brothers' creator-owned Image series delivers a striking visual in this fourth issue — a black-clad young woman leaps impossibly high above a police cruiser, sword in hand, while three bewildered officers below can only stare upward in disbelief. That image of ordinary law enforcement confronted with something far beyond their training captures exactly the kind of grounded-yet-supernatural tension that made The Sword such a compelling read in 2008. Jonathan Luna's cover pencils and inks frame the scene with a cool, cinematic clarity that draws you right in.
